Rubio’s visit to Mexico occurs in the midst of the constant pressures of the United States so that there is greater cooperation and presence of his government in the work of combating drug trafficking.
Since the return of Donald Trump, the United States has intensified its fight against Mexican cartels to which it even declared foreign terrorist organizations (OTES), has requested the sending of several Mexican capos, and threatened with tariffs if Mexico does not do enough against fentanil.

Intervention
?
In its intention to “eliminate” cartels, the United States government has proposed Mexico at multiple moments to send military, but has been rejected.
For former president Andrés Manuel López Obrador, Trump offered him the sending of agents to cooperate with the investigation around the murder of several members of the Lebaron family.
“After the murder of the Lebron, one or two days later, he spoke (President Trump) and the offer was in the sense that agents sent us to help investigate the cases and punish responsible … in a respectful way we thanked him for his offer and he understood that it corresponded to us to attend these cases, as always,” he said on June 19, 2020.
On his return to the White House, Trump has made the offer again and even raised in the process of preparing security understanding.
“They requested issues that were not acceptable to us and we also stated that there were several issues in this understanding that they considered that they should not be in this document. They raised greater intervention in our country And we said no, “the president revealed last week.
President Trump himself said in an interview that he offered to send military to Mexico but that Sheinbaum rejected it.
“I have offered to send to the army, but she doesn’t want us to do it,” he said.
Before the question of why the president did not accept, Trump said the Mexican president is afraid. “Because she is afraid. She is very scared,” he added.
